HERO SP Review

Five years after being
transferred from the Josai branch, Kuryu Kohei (Kimura Takuya) is relocated to
Yamaguchi: a town that is practically owned by the Kimura family. In the office
he is put together with a paralegal who’s not only uptight, but is called a
‘weirdo’ by his coworkers as he rarely does anything that can be called social.

When a murder occurs
in small town Yamaguchi, people are shocked to find out that the towns favorite
Takida is arrested. Takida works for the Kimura family, and is liked by people
more than the son of the founder. So everyone in the office refuse to take on
the case as they most defiantly will be hated by the towns people for
prosecuting him. The case is eventually given to Kuryu and as thorough as he is
he decides to look at the case from every single angle..

Hmm, I liked it better
than the drama, but that is only because they kept the originality yet had it
be quite more ‘modern’. I was worried that I would be bored since the other
actors weren’t there but it kind of refreshed everything and made it quite funny.
Though I didn’t expect that kind of outcome of the SP, I have to admit I was
entertained most of the time. So kind of worth it, and if you have watched the
drama, the SP is kind of a must in this.
